Objective To develop the assessment scale of proactive health behavior ability for the disabled elderly in nursing homes and to test its reliability and validity.Methods The first draft of the scale was formed by literature review,qualitative interviews and Delphi method.From December 2023 to March 2024,525 disabled elderly people from 9 nursing homes in Sichuan Province and Chongqing City were selected as the survey subjects,and item analysis and reliability and validity test were carried out on the scale.30 disabled elderly people were re-investigated after 2 weeks to calculate the retest reliability of the scale.Results The scale consisted of 4 dimensions and 27 items.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors,with the cumulative vanance contribution rate of 65.992％,and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the modified model fitting index was within acceptable range.The content validity index at item level was 0.917-1.000,and that at scale level was 0.997.The Cronbach's α coefficient,test-retest reliability and split-half reliability of the total scale were 0.944,0.997 and 0.882,respectively.Conclusion The scale has good reliability and validity,and it can be used to evaluate the proactive health behavior ability of the disabled elderly in nursing homes.

Objective:To investigate the potential mechanism of miR-1298-5p in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)to regu-late the MSH2 gene and its effect on the biological behavior of tumor cells and the tumor immune microenvironment.Methods:Bioin-formatics was used to identify the key genes and miRNA involved in NSCLC.Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay,and cell invasion and migration were detected by Transwell assay.Levels of inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA assay.Western blot was used to measure the expression of MSH2 in cells,and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the expressions of miR-1298-5p and MSH2 gene in NSCLC cells.Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the targeting relationship between miR-1298-5p and MSH2.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to correlate miR-1298-5p with immune cells and immune factors in the tumor immune microenvironment.Results:The level of miR-1298-5p was down-regulated in NSCLC cells compared with normal lung tissue cells.miR-1298-5p overexpression inhibited the proliferation,migration and inva-sion of NSCLC cells.MSH2 was confirmed to be a target gene of miR-1298-5p using luciferase reporter gene assay.Furthermore,down-regulation of miR-1298-5p in NSCLC cells could be reversed by silencing MSH2.miR-1298-5p expression levels were negatively corre-lated with the levels of Treg,IL-10,and TGF-β,and positively correlated with the levels of CD3+T,CD4+T,CD8+T,NK cells,IL-2,and IFN-γ.Conclusion:miR-1298-5p negatively regulates MSH2 to inhibit the proliferation,invasion and migration of NSCLC cells and improve the tumor immune microenvironment.

Objective This study aims to explore the formation of the dilemma of"giving care"for disabled elderly people in nursing homes from the perspective of active health.Methods Purposive sampling was used to select caregivers and disabled elderly people from a nursing home in Chongqing as research subjects from July 2022 to December 2022.One-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted and Colaizzi's 7-step thematic analysis method was employed to collect and analyze the interview data.Results 4 themes were identified:①the dominance of the"giving"care concept,including the cultural thoughts of filial piety,passive acceptance of care characteristics and consumer psychology regarding paid services;②insufficient"participation"care ability,including lack of knowledge regarding active health and a weakening of skills to promote participation;③the hindrance to"transformation"of care models,including objective limitations in terms of human resources and delays in adapting aging environments;and ④the decline in"utilization"of internal abilities,including excessive avoidance of potential risks,a heavy workload of care and poor quality of individual care.Conclusion The formation of the dilemma of"giving care"for disabled elderly people in nursing homes is affected by multiple factors such as social background,service system,supply resources,and management mode.Transforming disabled elderly individuals from a state of"passive giving care"to"active participation in their health"is an important measure to realize the concept of positive aging and healthy aging.

Objective:To explore the ability of sequential immunization regimen inducing neutralizing antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) Wuhan-Hu1 and Omicron variants in mice.Methods:Groups of 6-8-week-old BALB/c mice were primed with two doses of Wuhan-Hu-1 inactivated vaccine, and then boosted with Omicron or Wuhan-Hu-1 inactivated vaccine, respectively. Binding antibodies were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; and neutralizing antibodies against Wuhan-Hu1 and Omicron variants were analyzed by vesicular stomatitis virus pseudovirus assay system; SARS-CoV-2 specific cellular immune responses were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay.Results:IgG antibodies against Wuhan-Hu1, Delta and Omicron RBD were enhanced after the second dose of Wuhan-Hu1 inactivated vaccine.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of surface electromyography (sEMG) of the flexors and extensors of the affected fingers after manual digitorum sensory stimulation (MDSS) in the hemiplegic patients after stroke. MethodsFrom April to August, 2020, 50 stroke patients in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University accepted MDSS on the nail beds and the third knuckles of affected fingers, until the fingers extended actively. The tension of affected flexor pollicis brevis, flexor digitorum superficialis and extensor digitorum were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) before and immediately after stimulation; while the root mean square (RMS) of sEMG of bilateral flexor pollicis brevis, flexor digitorum superficialis and extensor digitorum were recorded. ResultsThe MAS score of all the muscles decreased after stimulation (|Z| > 2.699, P < 0.01), while the RMS of affected extensor digitorum increased (t = -2.069, P < 0.05). Compared with the unaffected ones, RMS of affected flexor pollicis brevis and extensor digitorum decreased before and after stimulation (t > 2.450, P < 0.05). ConclusionMDSS may immediately relieve the spasm of flexors of hemiplegic fingers after stroke, which associates with the promoting muscle strength of the extensors.

Objective To demonstrate the changes in flexor digitorum and extensor digitorum tension in the affected hands with shear-wave elastography (SWE) before and after manual digitorum sensory stimulation (MDSS) in hemiplegic patients with stroke. Methods A total of 51 hemiplegic post-stroke inpatients in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine in Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April to June, 2020, underwent MDSS completed by a researcher who used a bare thumb and index finger to squeeze each nail bed as well as the sides of each fingertip in the affected hand. The stimulation intensity was the minimum that could cause finger extension without obvious pain, and the interval between two stimulations was five to ten seconds. Muscular tension of the flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus, flexor pollicis longus and extensor digitorum were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and shear-wave velocity (SWV) of SWE on the affected side before and immediately after MDSS. MAS score was -1 as low muscular tension. Results The MAS scores of all the muscles significantly reduced after MDSS (|Z| > 2.843, P < 0.001); while the changes of SWV were not significantly in all the muscles with initially MAS score of 0 or -1 (t < 1.052, P > 0.05), and it reduced in those muscles with initial MAS scores of one to three (t > 2.672, P < 0.05). The SWV were positively correlated with the MAS scores both before and after MDSS (r > 0.334, P < 0.05). Conclusion MDSS can effectively, immediately, and safely relieves muscle spasms of the flexor digitorum and facilitate active finger extension in the affected hand for hemiplegic patients with stroke. SWE is useful for quantitatively and objectively evaluating muscular tension in the affected hand for hemiplegic patients with stroke.

Objective: To analyze the molecular characteristics of Listeria monocytogenes strains from ready-to eat food in China. Methods: A total of 239 Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from ready-to-eat food in 2017, all strains underwent whole-genome sequencing (WGS) , and comparisons uncovered population structure derived from lineages, clonal complex, serogroups, antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence, which were inferred in silico from the WGS data. Core genome multilocus sequence typing was used to subtype isolates. Results: All strains were categorized into three different lineages, lineage Ⅱ was the predominant types in food, and IIa was the main serogroups. CC8, CC101 and CC87 were the first three prevalent CCs among 23 detected CCs, accounting for 49.4%. Only 4.6% (11 isolates) of tested strains harbored antibiotic resistance genes, which were mostly trimethoprim genes (7 isolates, 2.9%). All strains were positive for LIPI-1, and only a part of strains harbored LIPI-3 and LIPI-4, accounting for 13.8% (33 isolates) and 14.2% (34 isolates), respectively. ST619 carried both LIPI-3 and LIPI-4. 51.5% (123 isolates) of strains carried SSI-1, and all CC121 strains harbored SSI-2. Different lineages, serogroups and CCs can be separated obviously through cgMLST analysis, and 24 sublineages were highly concordant with CCs. Conclusion Ⅱa was the main serogroups in ready-to-eat food isolates in China; CC8, CC101 and CC87 were the prevalent CCs, and CC87 isolates was hypervirulent isolates, cgMLST method can be adopted for prospective foodborne disease surveillance and outbreaks detection.

Objective: To investigate the value of CT wavelet texture analysis based on primary tumor of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in predicting central lymph node metastasis (CLNM). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed to 250 patients (307 nodules) who pathologically confirm with PTC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from December 2013 to August 2019. Thyroid dual phase scanning was performed in all patients within two weeks before surgery. All patients underwent central or total cervical lymph node dissection, among which 160 cases (189 nodules) were classified as training sets, while 90 cases (118 nodules) were in the verification sets. Besides, all patients were divided into CLNM group and no CLNM group according to pathology. The DeepWise software were used to manually delineate PTC primary nodules on venous phase CT images, and 576 wavelet texture features were extracted. The differences of texture feature parameters between the two groups were compared. The top 10 wavelet texture features of the area under curve (AUC) value were manually selected as the best parameters. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to establish and verify the model, the optimal cutoff value was found by using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Totally 124 features were statistical difference between the two groups. The top 10 characteristic parameters for manual diagnosis with AUC values ranged from 0.599 to 0.630 (P<0.05), multi-collinearity test and multi-logstic regression analysis showed that there was no collinear correlation between the above 10 features, and small-area low-gray emphasis was an independent predictor of risk factors. The AUC value, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the predictive model for the diagnosis of CLNM in the training set were 0.693, 62.84%, 60.47%, 62.96% and validation set were 0.602, 64.95%, 33.33%, and 59.32%, respectively. Conclusion Wavelet texture analysis in CT venous phase may allow detection of CLNM of PTC.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipoca-lin(NGAL) and kidney injury molecule 1(KIM-1) in children after contrast media administration and evalu-ate the effect of hydration therapy. Methods A total of 58 patients with urinary system diseases who were admitted to Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from March 2012 to March 2014 for intravenous pyelography(IVP) in pediatric department were enrolled. The 58 patients were randomly divided into hydra-tion group of 28 patients and non-hydration group of 30 patients. Contemporaneous 24 patients received respiratory system enhanced CT examination without urinary tract diseases and hydration were enrolled as control group. Urine NGAL and KIM-1 of the three groups at 0 h,24 h,48 h,72 h,96 h after using intravenous contrast media were detected by ELISA. Serum creatinine of the three groups at 0 h,48 h,96 h after using intravenous contrast media were detected. Results All of the 82 subjects in this study didn′t occur contrast- induced acute kidney injury. The urinary NGAL of non-hydrated group significantly increased at 24 h and 48 h after contrast media administration ( P < 0. 05 ) and the urinary NGAL of hydrated group significantly increased at 48 h and 72 h(P<0. 05). But the urinary NGAL at 24 h and 48 h of the hydration group were lower than these of the non-hydrated group,there were statistically significant differences(P<0. 05). At 24 h,48 h and 72 h after contrast media administration,the level of urine KIM-1 in the non-hydration group sig-nificantly increased(P<0. 05). Urine KIM-1 at 48 h and 72 h in the hydration group significantly increased (P<0. 05). But the urine KIM-1 at 24 h,48 h and 72 h of the hydration group were lower than these of the non-hydration group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). Comparison of urine NGAL and KIM-1 at different times before and after contrast media administration in children receiving enhanced CT examination who without urinary tract disease showed no statistically significant differences ( P >0. 05 ). Conclusion The urine NGAL and KIM-1 of children with urinary system diseases increase after contrast media administration and there is a trend of spontaneous recovery. Hydration intervention can alleviate the up-ward trend of urine NGAL and KIM-1. For children receiving enhanced CT examination but without urinary system diseases,the change of urine NGAL and KIM-1 are not significant.
